OK. You're using Apache. Presumably it's running as user wwwrun. The question is, can that user access the gac, and if so what kind of access does it have?
Presumably you've aliased the directory holding your asp.net application in your apache configuration so that it becomes, in effect, a part of apache's file system - and you will have had to have granted sufficient permissions to the apache user for it to do this. So clearly it can access anything in the /bin folder. That's not a mystery, I don't think. My best guess as to what's happening is that this user doesn't have the correct permissions on the gac: but I could be way off beam. I just wish some else would jump in - because I'm not on familiar territory at all here. One advantage, I suppose, of having the gac at /usr/lib/mono/gac is that you know everyone can access it. Another question occurs to me. If you're using this for a class exercise, how will the students' code access the gac if it's buried in your private file system?
